Canon 17-55 f2.8L vs Tamron 17-50 f2.8 vc

[memento]

when you pay $1000+, it sucks to see that dust in there.

yes and yes.


gsgary - it's not an L lens. it's said to have L like optics. definitely NOT L build.. hence the dust issue.
first I've heard of the IS issue.

It's not. Canon doesn't give the L designation to EF-S lenses. But I think that many will agree that if they did, the 17-55mm and the 10-20mm might get that designation.

I know, just a little joke
